EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Emmanuel Episcopal Church is one location of the national Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement! The Episcopal Church is affiliated with the Anglican Communion. We’re following Jesus into loving, liberating, and life-giving relationship with God, with each other, and with the earth! The Episcopal Church is a spiritual home free of judgment and inclusive for all. Here's what all Episcopal churches value:
Evangelism - reaching out to all
Racial Reconciliation - living in peace with our Neighbor
The Environment - the Stewardship of God's Creation
Inclusion - love always wins!
EMMANUEL IN THE COMMUNITY
Emmanuel Episcopal Church has been deeply rooted in the Kailua community since its inception in 1960. Our parishioners have a history of reaching out and lending a helping hand when they see people in need. We welcome people wherever they are on their journey of faith. We love meeting new people through our outreach programs and popular events such as the Blessing of the Animals, Chocolate Extravaganza, Plant Sale, Enchanted Eats Food Trucks, and the Kailua Mini Swap Meets.
